Default Re: [PU4, PP] Mental Defense Only vs. Malediction-Proof

Is your argument here that you think the name is misleading? I'm sort of having problems tracking what your complaint is.

Mental Defense Only is Cosmic: Irresistable Attack with a limitation on it ("Treats Mind Shield as Cosmic DR") which seems to be ~-15%. Unless you want that DR to be Cosmic against everything, I'd apply Cosmic Defense with a limitation on it (only vs Mental Defense Only attacks, -40% if I had to eyeball it) - that way it's not Cosmic DR vs Everything. So about +30% instead of +50%.
